    Summary

    “Did you really think about killing me?”

    That wasn't exactly the kind of question he was expecting. Kabru studied Laios' expression. Curious, nervous, but not really concerned. As if he was asking about something embarrassing. “a couple of times,” Kabru admitted, “I considered it.” He was careless enough to mention it out loud. He couldn't deny it now. “I never actually wanted to do it, though,” he added quickly. Sometimes he still felt the temptation, but it was just a momentary weakness, not something he would ever actually consider. But he knew Laios didn't mean those flickers of fancy. He meant the time back in the dungeon, where the temptation to kill Laios was quite a bit stronger.

    Summary

    It wasn't as if he wanted to tell him anything in particular. Maybe he just wanted Kabru to pay attention to him for a change, just for a little bit. He wanted those beautiful eyes to look at him, curious and focused, and just a tad too intense, he wanted Kabru to sit too close to him, like he always did, and lean in to whisper something in his ear. It didn't matter at all what it was. He wanted Kabru to hold his hand in both of his and squeeze, and play with his fingers, and draw shapes on his palm and the back of his hand. Before he knew it, his thoughts wandered in a far more risky direction, and he had to close his legs and bow his head to hide his face, burning with a desire he couldn't hope to hide otherwise. Please, he thought desperately. Please, please, please.

    Summary

    Laios putters about. “I guess, I was thinking that I’ve, uh…” The stare grows more intense when Kabru begins to shamelessly lick his fingers clean. If it is anti-venom, he needs every last drop. If it's not, well, it's not the worst thing he’s been convinced to eat down here.

    Laios clears his throat. Is he… sweating?

    “I’ve never been kissed. Well, by my mom or Falin, but not like… like…”

    Oh my god.

    The confession seems out of place for any normal person. Laios is hardly normal though, and Kabru can’t deny that Laios seems to want a taste. Of him. Of the heart, still warm in his hands. And, of them both intermingled.

    Summary

    “I told you I didn’t want to hurt you. Did you want to hurt me?” his tone was open, not a trace of accusation.

    Kabru swallowed the knee-jerk lie that formed in his throat. It burned on the way down.

    “A little,” he confessed, and it felt like falling.

    (Kabru is paranoid Laios views him as a monster, and has a very complicated way of confronting it.)

    Summary

    Kabru closes his eyes. (Whether he rolls them once they are closed is nobody’s business.) “If it be your will, my liege."
    The King, with all the grace and poise of a minotaur at a glassblowing festival, says, “But am I allowed?” He practically whines.

    Kabru helps his king, tries not to take over the kingdom, and falls in love.
